The problem I have with this type of program is that the progression is assumed. Not everybody progresses at the same rate. It looks good on a spreadsheet but that's it. The program also starts with the max reps meaning that for a daily program it's way too intense. People don't progress in a nice linear manner anyway.

The way I would do it is start with your max reps. Divide by 2. Start with 3 sets per day, increase by 1 set each week until you reach 5 sets. Once every 2-4 weeks, or whenever they seem easy, retest your max and increase your work reps to half your new number.

Chins/Pulls are weird. I read the sticky on them a long time ago and it seems to come down to finding a way to keep doing more reps, and more in a set -- and there's nothing for it but to start wherever you are and accept you may only be able to add one rep a week, if that.

But if you commit to some basic system of "I will do x sets of whatever I can and add reps as I can" or "I will do x reps in as many sets as it takes and try to reduce sets" it really does work, it's pretty simple after all.
